[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 2120996, member: 960"] What shilsen said. Based on the previous wish (the dragon disciple wannabe), it sounds like your GM likes to screw with wishes. A few easy ways to mess with your two versions: (1) OK, the ray's a light. Permanently. Sprouting from your fingertips. Have fun sleeping in the bright light (you will always be fatigued). And by limiting the "no bad effects" clause to "other eldritch blasts that I fire" are you allowing the wish to be perverted so that [u]any other attack[/u] can be messed with? (2) You didn't specify [i]which[/i] three seconds. It will be the three seconds as you finish trying to fire a normal blast. It doesn't matter how good the first three seconds are if the spell fizzles on the last three seconds. I just watched an X-Files rerun with a genie. You can always pervert the most benevolent wish, must less something that rewards you personally. Mulder found out that "wishing for world peace" wasn't a good thing. :) [/QUOTE]
